For The Players

Virtual Reality has come a long way since the days of Pygmalion’s Spectacles, the 1935 Sci-Fi short story that essentially predicted the concept of VR head gear. The concept was always a good one, with many iterations happening through the decades. It wasn’t until 2010, however, that things really started to get interesting.

Twenty years ago, The Sims hit the market and went on to become possibly the most popular video game in the history of the concept. There are over 20 million people playing The Sims 4 all over the world, on PC and console. The odd thing is, not much has actually changed since that very first addition.

If you have someone in your life who is really into their games – console, handheld, computers, etc. – it might seem like a no-brainer to buy them a gift. Just head to the store and buy them the latest edition of their favorite game. But what about when the developers haven’t released a new version in a while, or your gamer couldn’t wait until their birthday to get the new release? Games can also be quite pricey for a gift, and can get quite repetitive over the years.

Whether you have the need for speed in real life or you just like to race on a computer or gaming console, these are some of the top games on the market for 2020. This style of game has come a long way over the last few years, with the feel being almost realistic for the player. They’re a complete rush to play and will definitely get your adrenaline pumping.

The first-person shooter game is no doubt one of the most popular styles of games for both computers and consoles. They give the player a sense of ownership in the events that unfold in the game as they are making decisions for a character that is ostensibly an extension of themselves. At the heart of all these games is the sense of satisfaction they create for the player as they get to act out scenarios that are far removed from everyday life.

The humble first person shooter is the cornerstone of the modern video game industry, and it’s pretty difficult to find an avid gamer who hasn’t spent a few hundred hours blasting Russians, demons, and zombies in his favourite FPS. But not every FPS is the same, and we’ve definitely seen our share of absolute failures over the years. Some shooters, however, are so unbelievably well-designed and executed that they’re simply not worth missing. If you’re feeling like you’re itching to shoot some bad guys, these are the very best FPS games that the industry has to offer.

Board games are incredibly popular in the world right now. What was once just the realm of the older generation, or those who were called nerds, is now one of the biggest past times for families and friends. Board games are no longer considered boring to play, and that’s probably thanks to the great games that have been developed in recent years.

So you’ve had your fun playing Doom Eternal, smashed more demon heads than you can keep track of, and are now settling back for some much needed R and R. After all, a Doom Slayer can’t always be on the job. While you’re chilling, you might want to head over to the Bethesda official merchandise shop and have a little look. It turns out that, of course, the company is pushing Doom merchandise hard.

If you call yourself a gamer and haven’t played a Doom title; shame on you. The franchise has officially been around since 1993, and had more entries than the average gun wielder could shake a stick at. Of course, the insane fast paced run and gun action won over audiences immediately back in the day, and new critically acclaimed iterations have been put out regularly since then. Well, mostly critically acclaimed.

If anyone knows anything about video game multiplayer, it’s that modern gamers are some of the most terrible, toxic people in the world. You can barely log into a game and play a few minutes before someone is swearing, being racist, being rude, or otherwise just acting like a rotten child. Right?
